Re: Evolve turbo intake (jdsr917)

I don't have the pipe, but I recall someone on here who got it saying that it has a couple spots that are dented on purpose to fit into the needed location. But I also know a few people who have received items damaged from Evolve. Hopefully Percy or someone else with it can chime in. Good luck.

Yes it does. I was quite bewildered by this but it is in fact part of the design to fit. Once you get it in you will see you need it for clearance issues.

 

[jdsr917]

Thank you did u keep stock air box or upgrade ?

 

[S40DaB]

Kept stock airbox. I was a bit concerned about the ECU overheating since I am still under warranty. It has been isolated as far as I can tell but nevertheless.

 

[jdsr917]

mine just ended so im good to go ! <br>i do know of someone that makes a ECU holder that moves it

I havent posted up my HOW TO yet, but I JUST installed this intake pipe on Sunday with help from the wife... lol (Ill explain later)<p>But yeah since having a cone filter, now adding this intake pipe has been even nicer, I personally feel like the lower end torque and pick up is quicker...<p>I do recommand this as a mod.<p>Rich <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/smile.gif" BORDER="0">

Yes,<br>It DOES have those dents for a reason.<br>I like the pipe, it does make a diff in sound, though not like a cone filter. <br>Dispite what people have said, I've still had nothing but good things to say about Evolve and Don... just wish my downpipe wouldve worked out

Re: (Percy311)

Re: (carreragt7)

Well i decided to install today and OMG 5 hours and i dont even think the pipe fir at all .... I ended up scratching the pipe to hell and i had to force it to fit... now i am concerned that the pipe will not stay in plus the screw was a B***CH to tighten as there was no room to get my hand in so yeah if this fails in the garbage and the end of evolve ..... <br>Anyone else had problems with install ?<br>

Update on the evolve pipe.... <p>I have had to take my car in since the intake pipe did not fit correctly and as a result i ended up with a hole in it.....<p>So i have a shop fixing the pipe and making it fit.... another 50$ to make it right lets hope this is the end ......

Re: (jdsr917)

What happend? Did it rub a hole into the pipe and if so how cheap is this aluminum lol?

 

[jdsr917]

Re: (ForceFed Motorsports)

Yeah the pipe fits "snug" and it ended up causing a gash in it on one of the metal tubes( i believe has something to do with AC since its ice cold)... But anyways the tube is crap the guy said the reason u can hear the intake inside the car with the evolve pipe is because it a "$5 piece of s**t" he said what make the pipe even feel storng is the HIGH Heat paint they wrapped it in, about 3 thick coats .... <p>So in the end he is making me a new one but he hasnt decided out of what yet so for now i got that crap on while he gets it made and he is charging me 40$ for the pipe.... <p>o well cant win them all<p>Ill take some pics and post ...

Re: (jdsr917)

Use 6061 aluminum, makes the cleanest welds and is very durable. I usually buy u bends from atpturbo.com since they are the cheapest and then you can pretty much fab up anything you would need by just cutting the u bend the angle you need. Thats what we use for intercooler piping <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>I could have called that they would use cheap ass aluminum <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/rolleyes.gif" BORDER="0">
